Good morning everyone! I had my I-485 interview this morning and I just wanted to share my experience.   My appointment was at 9:45am. I was seated in the lobby by 9:40 and had to wait a bit

USCIS still can deny your 485, even you have a pending VAWA with PF. The decision is depending on your Interview Officer to deny your case on spot or hold it until your VAWA is adjudicated.

 

There is no filling fee for VAWA. You can file a new 485/765/131 (Fees may applied)  with VAWA if abuser is US Citizen.

Hello everyone, I have a question needs to ask. My wife withdrew i130 on last year. Then my i485 was denied. I just received notice about my application was denied. And I filed vawa on this year. Am I in the removal processing before I filed vawa? I never receive the letter about the removal or NTA. 

Same here. Spouse withdrew petition - no removal proceeding - filed VAWA.

Be encouraged. You’re not alone and your case is not unique. 😊

There is a memorandum instructing the Immigration officers to wait for the final adjudication, but their decision is discretionary,they can put the AOS on hold or not.

When your spouse withdrew the petition (I-130), did USCIS deny you I-485?
I want to know if all the people who deny I-485 put him in a process of removal (deportation).
I was denied my I-485 because my spouse withdrew the petition (I-130), but since I could never receive the denial letter, I do not know if I am in the process of removal.
How can I know if I am in the process of removal (deportation)?
Thank you...

The sent me a notice of denial in the mail citing the reasons for denial, “spouse withdrew petition”.

Hey everyone! @sandranj HAPPY FRIDAY!

I have an appointment with an MD psychiatry specialist next week. I'm nervous about it because it will bring back so many bad memories.  I know I have to go see the Psychiatrist for a while and see a counselor as well. 

Questions for those that were approved already : How long does my personal affidavit have to be? Is there a specific length requirement?  

 

Thank you!
